Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mentioned Monday that 2017 was “the best year” for conservatives in his many years lengthy occupation in Washington.

“The best 12 months on all fronts, and a large number of other people have been stunned as a result of we didn’t know what we have been getting with Donald Trump,” the Kentucky Republican mentioned on Fox News. “He was doing fundraisers for [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer 3, or 4 years in the past.”

He mentioned that President Trump’s right-of-center insurance policies and pro-business focal point has inspired a lot of those that have been skeptical about what sort of chief he can be in place of business. Mr. McConnell touted the successes within the economic system and within the insurance policies that Mr. Trump has driven in his first 12 months.
